Bill > SR17

This Senate resolution condemns Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for comments he made at a Minnesota Nurses Association event on February 25, 2025, where he reportedly described political opponents as "fascists and Nazis." The resolution argues that such inflammatory language is particularly offensive given the historical context of the Nazi Party's role in World War II and the Holocaust, which resulted in the murder of over 6 million Jewish people. The resolution criticizes the governor's rhetoric as divisive and potentially undermining public confidence in the electoral process, and it formally calls on Governor Walz to apologize to both the Jewish community for devaluing Holocaust memory and to the general public for using inflammatory political language. Additionally, the resolution directs the Senate Secretary to prepare and transmit an official copy of the resolution to Governor Walz, with authentication from the Senate Rules and Administration Committee Chair, formally expressing the Senate's official condemnation of his remarks.
